Joel Freeland has turned down an offer from the Mavericks and will join CSKA Moscow on a two-year deal.

Freeland reportedly turned down a three-year deal with the Mavericks for more than $6 million, so CSKA Moscow must have been offering him more money. His contract doesn't include an opt-out clause in case he wants to go back to the NBA, so we won't see him in the states for at least a couple of years. Jul 11 - 10:14 AM

Joel Freeland is reportedly in "advanced negotiations" with the Mavericks, but the two sides are far apart on salary.

The Mavs are reportedly prepared to offer Freeland a multi-year deal as they try and pick up the scraps after the whole DeAndre Jordan fiasco. The Mavs are now desperate for some depth up front, and Freeland could potentially earn a decent sized role in Dallas. Still, he's never averaged more than 14.0 minutes per game, and his career-averages of 3.2 points and 3.4 rebounds per game leave a lot to be desired from a fantasy perspective. Jul 9 - 5:27 PM

Joel Freeland has reportedly not yet agreed to a contract with CSKA Moscow.

An earlier report stated that Freeland had officially signed, but Scotto reports Freeland is going to wait 48 hours before making an official decision. Perhaps he's waiting to see if he can secure an NBA deal, but he won't be a fantasy factor no matter where he winds up. Jul 9 - 3:22 PM

This move doesn't come as a huge surprise as the 28-year-old has only averaged 3.2 points and 3.4 rebounds in his NBA career. There's always a chance that Freeland finds his way back to the NBA, but he can be dropped from fantasy radars for now. Jul 9 - 11:12 AM
